TRon Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Personally can't wait for the football to start up again, it will feel like a small step back to a normal life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Silent Face Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I agree. It's a farce. They should just come out and say it's done until if we get a vaccine as that seems the case now. Also who is going to transfer 300m for a club with no matches anytime soon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I don’t see how this is going to work at all, if Germany have already been fucked how the hell are we gonna do it Exactly, the press and the government will be waiting to scapegoat the irresponsible PL for allowing matches to be played. It's not the medical side which is an issue, it's the political climate. Once the government let's pubs reopen, then football is fair game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Silent Face Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 What you on about? It's a perfectly valid point. Maybe they aren't sending the 300m until we hear if and when the sport can return. It might be off for a year for all we know! There's obviously some hold up. As I said they haven't sent the money yet and I can't see them doing so until we hear about football definitely restarting or that is has. A perfectly valid oppinion so I don't see how that is being a WUM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Absolutely ludicrous to even consider finishing the season, surprised Angela sanctioned it in Germany. The aversion to binning it off and starting again in September is bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Silent Face Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The question is without a vaccine what will make it feasible to start it in September if we can't now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Starting fresh in September just means you'll have two seasons without an end instead of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aversion to binning it off and starting again in September is bizarre. Was reading an article on the Bundesliga, one of the major reasons why they need to complete the season is in order to get the final payment from the TV rights - if they don’t get this, then a number of German clubs will go insolvent Don’t know where the PL is up to with payments? Think they have their final instalment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If your going to shut down sports when someone tests positive for the virus they'll be no sport until a vaccine comes out which could be 18 months away. It was inevitable that some players were going to have the virus at some stage, what you need is vigorous testing and contact tracing to ensure you lockdown players and teams if someone does test positive.

SAK Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 A half way needs to be found if we wait until a vaccine is available some clubs will go bust. So I think the following is the safest way forward: -End this season -Start again in September with pre testing, any ill players being isolated. -Weekly testing again any unwell players being isolated. -U23 players to be allowed to be included in premier league squads to cover for isolated players (enlarged squads). - Training matches cannot be social distances so masks and gloves to be worn. Skills based drills to be in groups of 2-3 with masks and gloves - Squads to be isolated from friends and family members with hefty fines and bans for those that breach it - No fans in stadiums and no gatherings outside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Richard Masters of the PL said the other day that if we don't finish the season we run the risk of losing £1bn worth of revenue. That's why it needs to be finished. Regardless what you think of the economy vs health argument, they can't run the risk of that many clubs being so badly affected financially.

joeyt Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 What does the money they earn have to do with it? Because they're millionaires then their mental health is fine and they can sacrifice not seeing their friends and families until a vaccine is found? Footballers aren't key workers either.
